Questions teachers ask
- How many problems are on this worksheet?
- 1 on one page, with the answer key on the last page.
- What grade and standard is it for?
- Grade 1. Common Core: 1.OA.C.6. Alberta: Number 2.
- Can I print more than one version?
- Yes. Every version has different numbers and its own answer key. Use “Make another version” for a new one; the same version always prints the same.
- What is a number bond?
- A picture of a number and two parts that make it: 10 at the top, 7 and 3 below. It shows that addition and subtraction are two views of one fact.
- Why use cut-and-paste sorts?
- Sorting asks students to decide and explain, not just compute, and handling the cards keeps younger students working with the idea for longer.
